Sticky Thread for MilAir II

Yes Kalitta's are regulars now in and out of Dover.
Just had a KALITTA 2699 Dassault Falcon 20 depart Dover a half hour ago headed home to Willow Run Michigan.Only hear them on local VHF appch/dep freqs.

That's weird. How come when you type it in to flightaware it shows as an F-16?

Because more than one group uses that call. If you search on name type calls, every once in a while they'll put them in. Most times they don't. But on the Voodoo one, there's also the guys at Holloman that use that, an F-16 unit somewhere, and also AK 15s have used it lately. It just depends how far back you go in the history, but you can see it used with different types. I'm surprised they even put them in the system that way though... It probably depends on who's entering it in. Most named calls do not get put in for public viewing. There's probably ten times more voodoos that don't show up in the history.

Re: BASS 91

Hi Tin,

MACE 91 as above.

Tony

0948: Sounds like BASE/BASS 91 (BASS the instrument/vocal range - not the fish) with TRACON 322.3 for approach to runway 1R at Andrews >> to ADW Tower at 0959 for full stop landing runway 1R. No indication of aircraft type to pin down the ID.

 

[TinEar]

1305: SCARY and WILD flights of two F-16s each took off from Andrews on departure (TRACON) 348.725 > SCARY interflight 143.6/WILD interflight 139.15 > TRACON (Chesapeake area) 317.425 > ZDC-Swann 360.7 > ZDC-Coyle 254.3 > ZDC-Sea Isle 281.45 > Giant Killer 255.0 to enter W-107. They're using GK's tactical freq 337.225 for coordination and their respective interflight channels for their ACM work.
Early 1400 hour they're on the way home. Arrive at ADW with Tower 349.0 at 1417.

RAVEN flight of three A-10s depart Martin State at 1340 on Chesapeake area Potomac TRACON 290.475 > announce departure to Raven Ops 347.2 > change to TRACON 317.425 > Patuxent Advisory 314.0 > BayWatch 270.8 where they ID as a flight of three and say the fourth RAVEN will be along shortly. RAVEN 4 does check into Pax at 1406.
1415 RAVENs tell Pax they're ready to RTB.
1426: RAVEN four ship to Raven Ops on 143.8 to report 15 minutes out....but not from MTN....looks like they're doing a flyby at Camden Yard. They're working 142.3 for interflight.
Their ground station coordinating the run-in to Camden Yard is working with the RAVEN flight on Ops freq 143.8 and is using callsign GROUND HOG. (Of course it is. What else would they use?) They want the flight to come in from center field but the flight leader says he can't do that because of the buildings they'd have to come in over.
To top it off, they're having a difficult time hearing GROUND HOG...flight leader barely hears him, the wingmen don't hear him at all. They're asking for GROUND HOG to coordinate through Raven Ops. Time is now 1438. They're trying to coordinate the flyby right at the end of The Star Spangled Banner which will be difficult due to the comm problem.
At 1444 they report a minute, 30 seconds out...still asking GROUND HOG to coordinate through Raven Ops...still problems hearing him...but RAVEN 4 manages to hear him and coordiates with the rest of the flight.
New time-on target (TOT) of 1855:53Z as relayed by RAVEN 4...not sure what that 1 minute 30 seconds was all about earlier - maybe the time at the IP...time now 1449. RAVEN 4 can only work 143.8 because he only has one radio that will work on VHF and he's the only one that can hear GROUND HOG. He can't talk to the rest of the flight on interflight 142.3. At 1452 they're going down to 1000 feet...all of them report Code 1 maintenance status to Raven Ops on 143.8 as they approach the field. At 1454 they start the inbound run....now at 900 feet and that's where they'll keep it for the flyby. As they go over one of them on interflight 142.3 says, "that sucked." ...right over the city they go and are climbing to 2500 feet. From there they switch to Martin State Tower 297.2 and to Raven SOF on 143.8 to ask how it went....how close they got to the end of the National Anthem. At 1459 they say they'll be on the ground in about 5 minutes. At 1501, they're all reporting gear down, full stop to MTN Twr 297.2....and that's the end of the RAVEN flyby report.

Had a WARHOG flight of three A-10s from 1224 until 1248 from out of northern New Jersey and all the way across Pennsylvania working the ZNY freqs. Finally lost them while they were with Cleveland Center's Tyrone Sector 52 Low on 299.2. There was a flock of 12 Davis Monthan AFB AZ A-10s that left for the desert this morning from Westover MA. They had three airspares with them and that's who I'm guessing this flight was - returning home to DM.

New Jersey F-16s from Atlantic City active on interflight 138.425 at 1408....in CAS activity I'd guess at Pax Range Vienna based on signal strength...continuing at 1422.

Egyptian Air Force C-130H (tail 1293/SU-BKS) on the approach to BWI at 1416....EGY 1107....lands at 1423.

1442: Have a BLUE TAIL 01 (E-2C VAW-121 Norfok...Back end callsign)
calling New York Center (ZNY-Dixie 307.8)

And now it's time to call it quits.

Late Edit: Air Force 1 (VC-25A, 92-9000) landed at Andrews at 1804. Heard on TRACON 119.85, then 119.3 and finally at Tower 118.4 for the landing.
AIR TERMINAL RAMP FREEZE 09 APR 22:15 UNTIL 09 APR 22:45 (1815-1845 local)

There has also been a TFR issued for this morning for the Fairfax, VA area as below. Just heard GILLY 1 with IAD TWR asking to confirm the time of the TFR.

Fairfax Co PD and VSP are currently working a motorcade. It's on I-66 now and just passed Rt123.

1025- Bush is on TV now live from Fairfax Co. NBC-4. He's at an American Legion Post.

 

[trainman111]

I've got DC ANG up right now on 139.15. I heard them while I was walking by the radio on my way to some food so I didn't hear any callsigns. I'll keep listening to see who it is.

1531: REACH 157 calling Oceana Ops. 30 minutes out. Needs 60k for fuel. <284.9>

 

[TinEar]

I've got DC ANG up right now on 139.15. I heard them while I was walking by the radio on my way to some food so I didn't hear any callsigns. I'll keep listening to see who it is.

It's SCARY and WILD on 139.15 and 143.6. They're in W-386 with Giant Killer (238.1/249.8/350.0 used to enter) and working on 312.3. They took off right about 1300 from Andrews.

At 1330, there's also a JAWS 21 flight on his way home to Langley. He left there an hour or so ago and went up to R-5002 (Warren Grove Range) - just as a single ship. Maybe it's a checkout flight to get the lay of the land at Warren Grove so he can brief the rest of the detachment. It's an F-16 from the VT-ANG Detachment at Langley. He's working the ZDC freqs now on his way home...285.4 to 256.8.

Had some interesting stuff today and also new freqs but will have to detail it later...out of time for now.

 

[TinEar]

Throughout the 1900 hour (continuing at 1940) is a Naval AWACS type aircraft - callsign LIBERTY - directing some Navy fighters. The fighters are LAKER 21 and 22 and BLAZERs (no suffix heard). Normally, when I hear this type activity around the Patuxent area, they use HARCUM as a nav point and all bearing/range reports to the targets are from that point. This time they're using PORTLAND and I have no idea where that might be. The activity is on Pax discrete freq 256.5. (Just got a suffix on one of the BLAZERs - 11.)
They finish the activity about 1945 and suddenly one flight turns into SALTY DOG 321 as flight leader and there's also a SALTY DOG 422 in there.

Ref the new freq I mentioned in my last message....
Late in the 1100 hour I heard a FORCE 20 (KC-10A McGuire) talking to McGuire Command Post on 319.4 asking about the status of his receiver - SALT DOG 101 (He said SALT DOG but it was really SALTY DOG that showed up.) Anyway, at 1202, FORCE 20 was about to enter W-386 with GIant Killer on 249.8 and mentioned his upcoming AR activity. He was told by GK to monitor 320.45 and, sure enough, that's where he came up and worked with Giant Killer over the next hour or so. That's a new freq for Giant Killer Ops - at least to me it is. While monitoring that freq, he switched to Pax freq 277.0 to meet his receivers that were SALTY DOG 101 and SALTY DOG 321 from VX-23 at Patuxent NAS. That's where the AR op took place - 277.0. There was something that has me puzzled though. Just as the AR op began, FORCE 20 asked SALTY DOG 101 for his BuNo (Bureau Number). 101 gave it to him as 162119, FORCE 20 repeated it, asked if it was correct and it was given to him again so there's little doubt that's the number that was given. However, that BuNo is assigned to an SH60B helicopter. Since the AR was taking place at 22,000 feet, something tells me it was not a helo refueling. So that part remains a mystery. By the way, they used the hose and drogue method of refueling as do all Navy aircraft rather than the boom method used by the Air Force. Anyway, 101 and 321 refueled but before 321 could finish, FORCE 20 got a warning light on something and told 321 he had to break off the refueling. He said the orders are when that light appears, they can only refuel if the receiver declares an emergency situation. Since that wasn't the case, that was the end of the AR op. FORCE 20 called Giant Killer on the 320.45 freq again, told him he was exiting the area and heading home. He was later heard with McGuire CP again on 319.4 as he made his way back to McGuire without incident.

AXEMAN flight of A-10s reporting airborne at 2001 to Raven Ops on 347.2
AXEMAN flight working interflight freq 142.3 and with ZNY-Lancaster 239.05 climbing from 11,000 to 14,000 (might be going north to the Duke MOA.
AXEMAN 1 cleared direct Slate Run at 2008 (confirming they're heading to "The Duke")
AXEMAN flight handed off to ZNY-Middletown 322.4 at 2014 and check in there....then a handoff to ZNY-Williamsport 338.3 at 2016 and check in at 16,000 feet non-standard formation.

Also from this morning, mid 1100 hour, had a flight of two aircraft flying through the area using HAWG 1 for a callsign. They used 140.425 as an interflight freq and talked their way through the ZDC freqs heading southwest. I believe they were F-16s from the 184th Fighter Squadron, AR-ANG Ft Smith. They mentioned Fort Smith and several other locations in that area in their chat although didn't specifically say they were from there. The wingman seemed to be from a different location though. At one point, the flight leader asked his wingman where the closest range was to him. He said Fort Drum and the Yankee MOA were both about 45 minutes away and Warren Grove was about 40 minutes away. They also mentioned they were heading for AR-329 to meet up with a SODA 81 tanker (KC-135E, 151st ARS TN-ANG Knoxville). This activity was from about 1115 to 1145.

At 2025, Raven Ops is talking with a COLT flight of A-10s on the ground at Martin State Airport.
2032: COLT flight is airborne...on Raven Ops freq 143.8...they're trying to meet up on an interflight freq...COLT 1 asks 2 if he was on 4...then says come up on AUX 3...I'm looking. (Haven't found them but did find 139.7 active which might be BLACKJACK with HUNTRESS)

2047: REACH 204 (C-17A, 04-4137, 6th Airlift Squadron McGuire AFB) to McGuire CP...30 minutes out, A-3 for IRU inop and VHF radios not working...needs crew bus for 7 and parking...also needs Customs notified they have a Form 250 for them proving they've already cleared customs but need them to come pick up the trash they've accumulated while traveling from overseas...(yes, Customs will pick up the trash)...319.4
2049: JOSA 278 to Andrews...20 minutes out, home station C-21A, tail 84-0077, mission complete upon landing and dropping off an A-5 plus 1...need trans for the pax and crew bus for 2...378.1

2100: Have to push the "pause" button on air activity while I watch The Unit. Everyone please stop in place and don't move until 2200. Thank you.

MUSSELL-06 10-minute ETA to Mt Weather. 241.0
Just prior to this I heard a MUSSELL-06Bravo checking in with MUSSELL control. 292.2

Mt Weather advised -06 to land on Hotel-4. There is a flight of three, callsign GENERAL-150 (sounded like general anyways), due in at 2100 local.

2100- Just got buzzed by a pair of helos moving lower and faster than most, heading west. Definitely not UH-1 types, likely Blackhawks.
2101- FALCON-1 calling Bluegrass Tower. 241.0 Bluegrass responds to GENERAL-150.
Advises he is three aircraft, 12 miles out, 6-min ETA. Bluegrass advises to land on Hotel-1 and informs him of the MUSSELL flight that will be on H-4.
2103- MUSSELL-06 preparing to land.
2105- Now calling himself GENERAL-150. 5 miles out.
2113- Sounds like the MUSSELL flight is departing.
2118- -06 calling control. No contact. MUSSELL-01 relays for him: Mission complete, requesting further orders. There are no further orders.
2130- MUSSELL-06 asking MUSSELL-02 if they're still a go for a DAMA test. Test will be in 2 minutes (2133).
2144- MUSSELL-06 no luck with DAMA test.
2149- -06 is in zone 5. Blackjack-1 requesting Rt 3 to Rt4 for fullstop.
2257- That flight of three is leaving Mt WX. This time the callsign sounded like JEDDA/JEDA. The first time I heard it tonight it sounded like JEDI. I have no idea.
2311- JEDA-150 handed off from Dulles approach 120.45 to DCA tower. Says he's inbound all the way to the Eagle's Nest (US Park PD HQ).
They snuck past me somehow, never heard them with approach until the hand off.


I heard the birds coming, must've just missed the first one fly by. Either that or he wasn't flying in line with the other two.
Any idea on these callsigns?
